- Rated 4 out of 5by GammaFunction, 8 years agoAddon port is in progress, I hope it continues! I *would* like regular expression /searching more than anything else that's missing, but I'm patient.
- Rated 4 out of 5by nongthaihoang, 8 years agoGood but not enough. Lack of elements focusing such as mouse hovering.
And I have to use my mouse to place the cursor before entering visual mode to select text. - Rated 5 out of 5by John Park, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mehrad, 8 years agoDoes what it suppose to. I'm another legacy Vimperator dropout looking for alternatives and very happy with this add-on so far. Let's see how we go with some heavy use.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Makochan, 8 years agoThe copyCurrentUrl command doesn't work. Please fix this issue.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13370150, 8 years agothis is what I am looking for ! highly recommend
- Rated 3 out of 5by Adam, 8 years agoI installed this as a desperate attempt to keep some Vimperator functionality as Mozilla is about to drop support for its "legacy" addons. It does a good job of replacing "follow hint" and basic page navigation but it cannot possibly compare to the full awesomeness of Vimperator. But as the developer writes: it is currently the only Vim-like addon compatible with future versions of firefox.
- Rated 4 out of 5by xxjohndifoolxx, 8 years agoone key misses : a key to restart firefox ! useful when you have some addons that needs to reload FF when activated or some bugs inside webpages
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202773, 8 years agoThank you.
It even works in sites that VimFx could deal with! haha

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13265629, 8 years agoit's really sad the support for VimFX will stop and now I have to use this one. It's ok, although it needs some work. Here are some suggestions:
- in VimFx, i can re-map every key. I especially miss the re-mapping of the generated Huffmann Tree Link-Codes, since I don't use a QWERTY-Keyboard.
- VimFx had a clean and simple representation of the Link-Codes, this one has some weird shadowing going on. It's minor, but yeah.. I like my things clean and simple
- If the focus in on the URL-Navigation Bar, I can't use Esc to focus the website content
- Closing Tab (x) does only work if a website is open. When I open a tab, it goes to about:blank and i can't close it. However, it closes if I go to it manually. Kind of weird behaviour.
positive things:
- Link-Codes don't overlap, very useful on reddit
- the Navigation Bar showing Up on O is awesome! - Rated 5 out of 5by García y García, 8 years agoIt works great for me on FF DE 56.0b6 (64-bit), except for *Open in New Tab*, follow the link marked *Next* and some other advanced commands. All of which will probably be solved soon enough.
I loved the tab search feature (so I can have a clean interface (hidden tabs)) and sort of a replacement for Tab Groups for the time being in 57+.
I stopped trying to make my browser behave like my text editor years ago. Some people tries to compare Vimium-FF to Vimperator or something of that sort...
Learn the reasons behind Web Extensions: Firefox has become faster and more stable. The old model was unsustainable from a practical standpoint (start up times, memory leaks, user information leaks and so forth).
Adjust your rationale and be happy to still have a NORMAL mode to begin with. Firefox isn't a console text editor. I thank the developer and the Firefox Team for sharing their efforts toward a more pleasant web experience.
If you don't like it, try and make respectful arguments or fix it yourself for once.
